Jesuit Rhetoric across Space and Time

$474⁰⁰

The purpose of this book is to present current scholarship on Jesuit rhetoric in a coherent volume that highlights the diversity of research in the field. It brings together the broadest possible range of perspectives, both across time and space.

Description

A product of Renaissance educational thought, Jesuit rhetoric has trained generations of churchmen and lay citizens right up to the present day. This book aims to show the wealth of current international research on Jesuit rhetoric, in its pedagogical dimension (from sixteenth-century manuals to today's university writing courses), its practical implementation (in speeches, music or theology). Its chapters span both religious contexts—engagements with Protestants, Jews, Orthodox Christians, and Dominicans—and geographical ones, including encounters between Europe and regions such as Sri Lanka, China, and Japan.
